Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "IKAT US Civil Societies Innovating Together" (Funding Opportunity Number APS 497 10 000001) is a USAID/Indonesia solicitation that was structured as an Annual Program Statement (APS) using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. It falls under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) and was administered by USAID in Jakarta, Indonesia. The opportunity was framed around supporting innovative work with and among civil society actors, and it used a multi-round process in which applicants were expected to submit concept papers by specified deadlines.

What the posted amendment primarily does is update the status of the second application round (Round 2). USAID/Indonesia indicates that because Round 1 generated strong interest and produced a high volume of qualified applications, the agency decided to defer acceptance of Round 2 submissions until a future date that had not yet been set. Even though Round 2 originally listed an August 2, 2011 concept paper deadline, the amendment explicitly instructs prospective applicants not to submit applications by that date. In practical terms, Round 2 was suspended, and USAID/Indonesia stated it would neither review nor respond to any Round 2 applications submitted while the suspension remained in place.

The notice also explains how and where applicants should watch for future updates. USAID/Indonesia said it would issue a formal notice once a new Round 2 submission date was established, and that the notice would be posted on the USAID/Indonesia website (http://indonesia.usaid.gov) as well as on Grants.gov. At the same time, the amendment closes off further engagement by stating that no additional questions would be entertained under the solicitation, signaling that applicants should rely on posted public updates rather than seeking clarifications through Q and A while Round 2 was paused.

From the funding perspective, the listing shows an award floor and award ceiling both set at USD 1,500,000, which implies the anticipated award size was fixed at that amount for the relevant award instance reflected in the posting. The listing also states there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was categorized broadly as "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the explanatory text essentially being the suspension notice itself rather than a programmatic sector label.

In terms of timeline metadata, the opportunity was created June 26, 2011 and posted June 27, 2011, with an original Round 2 closing date of August 2, 2011. It also references the Round 1 concept paper due date of October 7, 2010. The record later reflects that the current closing status is effectively suspended (not an active due date), and the opportunity was archived July 15, 2011. The submission instruction included an email address for concept papers (aps 497 10 000001@usaid.gov), but the amendment makes clear that submissions should not be sent for Round 2 until USAID reopens acceptance.

For applicants trying to interpret what this means operationally, the key takeaway is that Round 2 was put on hold due to the volume and quality of Round 1 applications, and USAID/Indonesia explicitly requested that no Round 2 applications be submitted while they recalibrated. The only path forward offered in the notice was to monitor the two official public posting locations for a reopened date. A named contact was provided only for technical difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically: Johanna Gardjito, A&A Specialist, phone +62 21 3435 9497, associated with APS IKAT US Round 2.
